I could try to express this in terms of political theory, but it would simply pass most habitable zone residents by. In sum, starlets and luxury cars while your people starve... An incompetent who "inherited" the office, and never had to earn it...

I posted on this here quite a while back, but can not find it now. That said, I am as surprised as anyone that it occured now... while you may think it is tied to W Bush's reelection, I doubt it.
